Bluedoo Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 There is a programme at 9:00 tonight on BBC2 about the Million Dollar Race in South Africa. Haven't seen any trailers for it though.
Roland Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 After all the contrversy, and seemingly running on a tight bugdet to say the least, wiill it still be going in 3 years time... especially if they can't cut any more costs. Hope it will survive, it must be a good Advert FOR non flyers and Public awareness.
Guest paulrstokes Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 I think the Sun City race will continue, I was there last year when they filmed this doc so looking forward to it. Apparently there is some footage from Blackpool and the Europa also.

Hope it will survive, it must be a good Advert FOR non flyers and Public awareness. AND big time gambling, some of these guys must have money to burn. ;)
Guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 ;Dwell im away to watch it ?? .............................. ;D andy
pigeonpete Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 great program, tammy did you set the fire alarms off?? :o :P ;D ;D ;D
TERRY JOHNSON Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 Not my idea of pigeon racing i'm afraid !!!
Guest Gareth Rankin Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 Some of the footage was very good :) but there was also alot of the programme that will do the sport no good what so ever, e.g The old boy with the loft that was no more than a total and utter disgrace. :-/ > > If only we could get a pigeon man to produce a programme for one of the big TV stations.
TERRY JOHNSON Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 What a cracking couple the one whose wife wasn't well ----- thats more like it for me.
ACE LOFTS Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 i thought it was to money orientaited it should have been about more of love
Guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 That footage of Blackpool show really inspired me to get cracking for the coming show season,whatever you think of the prog its a good motivational tool...I have every confidence in my team for blackpool 2008 ;D ;D ;D
paul l Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 FANTASTIC EVEN WIFE ENJOYED IT SO WERE GETTING SOME WERE
blackjack Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 We do not own a TV but i will go with Mrs W some like the foremat its not for me i could not justify the cost but thats just my opinion.
celtic Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 Big difference between the old gent looking after his wife, and Derek knight, maybe that's his way being a bit flash but i would'nt think he endeared himself to many fanciers ...just my opinion.
Guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 It was abit sexist though,did'nt make the most of a prime time tv slot to sell the sport to women or youngsters.Wasted opportunity perhaps?
Guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 Now there's an idea,I'll buy him indoors a pigeon and tell him it's a dead cert for sun city..bingo.Do you think it will work?
THE FIFER Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 good show nice to see bob reaves sen, on it,
Guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 Thought the programme for the most part did us no favours at all. Agree with others tho that the elderly couple were the stars, he physically disabled, and she suffering Alzheimers, real down-to-earth folk who enjoy their pigeons.
Guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 Good to see Brian Mead on it,he gave one of my youngsters a first at the YB show and he is our fed secretary,nice guy
paul l Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 Thought the programme for the most part did us no favours at all EVEN WIFE ENJOYED IT so it impressed her as she not into my pigeons at all she sat and watched the whole lot and said it was realy good so thats a start so if it impressed her and she nows a bit about pigeons as it s all i talk about it must have impressed the people out there that now jack about ar sport
Guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 Iam an avid 1 loft racer but i dont think that done much good for the sport and it may atract the wrong kind of interist like the tax man or maybe the bookies that could do alot of damage to our great sport and turn us into pigeon breeders for them to rake it in only my views remember ive won one of thease races and scored in some others not good for the sport in general
stevebelbin Posted May 1, 2007 Report Posted May 1, 2007 Ive got to admit I didnt think it did us any favours, but maybe im looking from a pigeon fanciers point of view. I was surprised how many people texted me to say they were watching it, even the ex-girlfriend who hates pigeons texted me about it, so maybe it worked lol lol
